Two Black Rock Coffee Bar locations—9540 Hwy. 6 in Missouri City and 4030 Spencer Hwy. in Pasadena—are expected to open during the first quarter of 2023. Black Rock Coffee Bar CEO Josh Pike told What Now Houston the brand has found good traction in Houston and other parts of Texas including Austin, Dallas, and most recently in San Antonio. Pike said the Houston market could become home to a total of 30-50 locations in coming years.

“The state of Texas has welcomed us with open arms, and I think that’s in large part due to some of the commonalities we have. We’re finding communities where we find people who really do care about their communities. And, that’s a big part of what we do,” Pike said.

The brand’s roots are anchored in the 3 Cs—Community, Connection, and Coffee. “We like to look at our stores as being a real community-centric spot for people to be able to connect,” Pike said.

Black Rock Coffee Bar is a national boutique coffee shop known for its premium roasted coffees, teas, smoothies, and flavorful blended energy drinks. Jeff Hernandez and Daniel Brand co-founded Black Rock Coffee Bar in Portland, Oregon in 2008.

“We’re just really excited. It’s fun to take our brand, which is rooted up in the Northwest, which is a little bit of a coffee hub, and to be able to launch out through the Sun Belt and to have the success we’ve had,” Pike shared.

The brand emphasizes personal and professional growth for each employee and provides opportunities for young people to learn how to lead, run a business, and develop people skills.
